Introduction

Melanie Is Ready for Product Sustainability Leadership

10-year food systems leader delivering audit-ready LCA, GHG, and traceability execution.

Cleveland, OH

About

I make sustainability numbers audit-ready, and operations actually follow them.

I came up through regulated, high-stakes operations, where a plan only matters if it holds up under pressure. That mindset pulled me into carbon accounting and product LCA work, because companies do not need prettier sustainability stories, they need defensible data and repeatable systems. I love the moment when complex requirements become a workflow people can run without heroics.

I bridge two worlds that do not always speak the same language, regulated operations and sustainability measurement. I have built compliance plans, SOPs, and training that keep teams audit-ready, and I bring that same discipline to LCA and GHG work so the numbers stand up to scrutiny.

I have managed complex, multi-stakeholder environments, including supporting 70+ entrepreneurs in a multi-tenant kitchen setting. That experience translates directly to supplier coordination, traceability workflows, and the unglamorous change management that makes programs stick.

Now I am leaning into the execution wedge the market is demanding, audit-grade Scope 1 to 3 inventories, process-based LCA modeling, and reporting systems that can be validated. If you need someone who can turn requirements into a clean, repeatable operating rhythm, I can help.

If you know a hiring manager or team lead building LCA, carbon accounting, sustainability reporting data, or traceability programs, I would love a warm intro. If you are willing to share this, please tag someone at a manufacturer, a carbon or reporting SaaS company, or a consulting team doing implementation work, that is exactly where I can create leverage fast.

Target roles: Product Sustainability, LCA Lead or Manager, GHG Inventory, Carbon Accounting, Reporting Data Lead, Supply Chain Traceability and Compliance Program Manager
